CALIFORNIA, "The Golden," bears the name long familiar in Spanish romance as the land of gold and precious stones. The adventurous followers of Cortez early visited its coast. Sir Francis Drake, on one of his expeditions, raised the British flag and named it New Albion. A hundred years later, a few Spanish missions and haciendas had been established in garden spots along the coast; the natives were well con- trolled, and the Spanish households flourished. The whole of California was almost independent of Spanish, and afterward of Mexican rule. The American Settlers easily asserted their independence under the "Bear Flag," and a small force of the United States Army completed the con- quest and brought California into the Union with full State rights; a record un- paralleled in the history of our nation. With the discovery of gold began a marvellous immigration of men, who mined golden treasures, reaped great harvests, gathered luscious fruits, and explored regions of grandeur, and proclaimed to the world the wonderful resources and natural charms of "The Golden State." 1821 1838 1850 1847 The full set of Forty-nine Maps of the States will be sent, post-paid, to any one on receipt of $1.00.
